CONCLUSIONS
• GSA is a promising alternative for the treatment
of patients with HOCM. Our experience
suggests that GSA is effective,safe and can be
performed without serious complications.
• Glue seems to be superior to alchol ; immediate
freezing prevents leakage to LAD and thought to
be particularly useful in the presence of
collaterals.
• For long-term safety anf efficacy more studies
are needed .

Conclusion
• Small vessel with diffuse disease and tortousities , the option
of POBA is still reasonable option and with the introduction of
the new DEB it give better result than the DES .
• DES will remain the option of choice for the Proximal large
vessel .
• In diffuse vessel disease combining both technique with
proximal stenting and careful selected angioplasty of the
distal vessels should be studied more .

DES Designs:
Can We Tell “Newer” From “Better”?
Mitchell W. Krucoff MD
FACC, FAHA, FSCAI
Professor of Medicine / Cardiology

Director, Cardiovascular Devices Unit

Is “Newer” Always “Better”:
Conclusions
• Engineering & design objectives are the key to better, safer DES
• Design endpoints range from procedural (deliverability) to biological
(late loss, endothelialization) to clinical (angina, MI, ST, death)
• Design targets include novel aspects of stent platform, drug and drug
delivery systems
• DES is a “combination product” where changes to one component
may affect others--small changes to strut thickness & geometry,
polymer, drug, dose and kinetics may result in big outcome changes,
for better or for worse.
• Achieving novel design changes is not enough until clinical data
confirm better outcomes

CONCLUSION
 As published:
 LAA device closure (in AF patients who are
candidates for warfarin) is associated with a
reduction in hemorrhagic stroke risk vs warfarin.
 Rates of all-cause stroke and all-cause mortality
were noninferior to warfarin, whereas safety
events (pericardial effusion) were more common
in device group.
CONCLUSION
 Closure of LAA might provide an alternative
strategy to chronic warfarin therapy for
stroke prophylaxis in patients with
nonvalvular AF.

ESC vs US Guidelines
William WIJNS

ESC vs US Guidelines
Why there should be differences!
• Guidelines preparation and publication are not
synchronous between US Societies and between ACC, AHA
and ESC
• Differences in recommendation level and strength are to be
expected given evolving evidence and/or experience
ESC vs US Guidelines
• As a result of the above, ESC Guidelines cannot
possibly account for all these differences and should
offer “generic” statements, based on scientific
evidence and expert experience
• Recommendations in ESC Practice Guidelines are
relevant to optimal care delivery scenarios
– Useful to leverage change in suboptimal
environments
– “Generalizable” and less system-specific than US
documents
– No legal value (disclaimer)
How to treat inDES restenosis:
DES? Balloon? DEB?
B. Chevalier, MD, FESC, FACC, FSCAI
ICPS, Massy, France
Conclusions
InDES restenosis is unfrequent and selects
different population than BMS restenosis
SES is superior to plain balloon except for
late loss
Role of DEB remains unclear
Future role of absorbable DES ??
Nobori DES – Clinical Update
Bernard Chevalier
ICPS Massy

Conclusions
• Results of both selected and real life patients are very
encouraging
• Results are consistent in various geographic areas and
patient subsets
• Particularly appealing are results in AMI, Bifurcation,
Small Vessels, and Diabetic Patients
• Extremely low rate of late and very late stent thrombosis
appears to confirm hypothesis about long term safety of
DES with abluminal coating & biodegradable polymer
